Which one is the best gas for RA...in SoCal
Ok...I'm too lazy to search...but I know someone might mention something like sorts...
Here it is...
I'm kinda not willing to pay for Cheveron, Mobil or Shell etc.. for 91 octane gas...
Arco is always cheap, but I don't know if the quality is on par w/the big names...so my question is between Arco, cheveron, shell, 76 and Mobil...which one would you guys recommend and wouldn't clogg our engin down the road...
Thanx!!!

ARCO is cheaper because they dont accept credit cards. Not because of the quality of the gas. Saves them 2.5% on every transaction. I tuned my RalliArt on ARCO 91. If I need to use a credit card to pay I use gas from the 7-11 down the street. All the gas in So Cal here comes from maybe two different refineries I think.

^Just what I've heard as well. That being said, I think that each company mixes it's own additives to the fuel. I have also heard that 76 puts in the least of these additives. Oddly enough, my Evolution VIII didn't like Shell. Whenever I would use it, within 5 minutes I would get a check engine light. I never did figure out why. Oh well, the Ralliart doesn't seem to care at all, lol.

I get my gas from Costco. Cheapest around, and I get a percentage back on the AmEx.

lol, Costco is the cheapest but no credit only debit!
I use my friends Costco membership card & my debit,
when the line is not wrapped all the way around the parking lot.
If I cant wait for the line I usually get 91 pisstane from 76.
